Stationmaster Ji took two steps at a time and trotted towards Lin Donglai, stretched out both hands to hold his right hand, and said excitedly:

"Young man, it turns out to be you. Haha, I finally found you."

"Stationmaster Ji, he, he said he wants to see you." The saleswoman was surprised to see the stationmaster being so enthusiastic towards Lin Donglai.

After greeting him in a very humble manner, he stood there with his head down, as if afraid of being criticized.

Stationmaster Ji's words left Lin Donglai a little confused. He stared at his face and thought about it. He had never seen this person before, either in the factory or in the hospital.

Just as Lin Donglai was smiling politely, wondering if Stationmaster Ji was someone he had met when he went to the countryside, Stationmaster Ji smiled and said:

"Young man, you must think I'm a stranger, right? Let me remind you, we met in Donglaishun, and you saved me."

Lin Donglai thought about it and suddenly realized that this person was none other than the man who choked on the mutton before.

He simply used the Heimlich maneuver, which was later popularized by scientists, to get the piece of mutton stuck in his throat out.

This was a piece of cake in itself, and Lin Donglai thought that it would be over once it was done, so he didn't take it to heart at all.

He smiled at Station Master Ji: "It's you, long time no see."

"That's right. When I asked you your name and where you worked, you didn't tell me the truth, so I couldn't find you."

"It's fate that we can meet here again today. Young man, tell me your name and where you work."

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Lin Donglai had no choice but to tell him his name and work unit truthfully.

"So you're at the steel mill. There's a section chief named Su in your purchasing department. He and I grew up together. Is he still with you?"

Lin Donglai told Stationmaster Ji that Section Chief Su was his leader and that he came to the supply and marketing cooperative today based on his suggestion.

After that, he lowered his voice and said to Stationmaster Ji: "Stationmaster Ji, I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk here."

Many people were queuing up to buy things, bored, and the two of them standing there reunited after a long separation undoubtedly attracted a lot of people's attention.

Stationmaster Ji followed Lin Donglai's gaze and looked at the group of people. He immediately understood what he meant and asked him to walk towards his office together.

After warmly inviting him to sit down, he seemed very happy to serve him tea and water.

When Lin Donglai took out the note from Section Chief Su from his pocket, Station Chief Ji looked a little uncomfortable. He drank a sip of tea and said, "Alas, Old Su has had a hard time too."

"Xiao Lin, you are my savior. If you hadn't helped me, I might not have seen the sun today."

"Don't worry. Even if there's no note from Lao Su today, no matter what you come to me for, I promise to help you as long as I can."

While speaking with a smile, he motioned for Lin Donglai to have some tea. After all, he had something to ask for, so Lin Donglai was still a little reluctant.

Without even having time to take a sip of tea, he thanked Stationmaster Ji repeatedly and then told him what Corey needed.

After listening to Lin Donglai's words, Stationmaster Ji did not reply immediately, but thought for a while before saying to him:

"It's not too difficult, but you have to give me some time. I can help your factory get enough sugar by this Friday at the latest."

"Xiao Lin, what do you think of this time? Can it catch up with the time your factory takes to make mooncakes?"

There is still nearly half a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, so normally it should be possible to make it in time. Besides, he is only responsible for getting the raw materials.

It is the canteen's responsibility to make mooncakes on time and in quantity. There is still that much time, which is enough.

He said to Stationmaster Ji: "No problem, Stationmaster Ji, thank you for your help. I will go back now if there is nothing else. I will wait for your good news."

After saying that, Lin Donglai stood up and prepared to leave the supply and marketing cooperative.

Stationmaster Ji felt that it was not easy to meet again after such a long separation, so he stopped him and said, "Xiao Lin, are you going back to the factory to report the news? Then I'll call your section chief."

"Let's not go home for lunch today. Let's go to Donglaishun to eat hotpot. I'll treat you. How about that?"

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, he smiled and said, "Haha, don't worry, I will definitely not choke this time. It's settled. See you at Donglaishun at 12 noon."

Things had come to this point, and it would be a big disappointment if Lin Donglai didn't agree, so he quickly agreed to Stationmaster Ji's request.

Lin Donglai understood that if he wanted to go further in the procurement field, relying solely on his own strength would be limited.

If there were a good backer like Station Master Ji to support us, it would be something that many people would be eager to have.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Donglai went back to the courtyard first. He had to arrange lunch for his sister in advance before he could go to the appointment with peace of mind.

As soon as he returned to the yard, he heard the sound of retching coming from the middle yard. He immediately parked the car and went over to take a look.

As expected, it was Sister Lingzi who was lying by the sink retching. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head and saw that her pretty face was pale.

No wonder people often mention that being a mother is not easy. Sister Lingzi suffered so much just after she became pregnant, not to mention the later stages of pregnancy.

There are also various unforeseen emergencies during childbirth. I heard that it can be like a trip to the gates of hell.

At this time, Lin Donglai no longer had the heart to tease her, and asked with concern: "Sister Lingzi, you look so bad, do you want to go to the hospital?"

Lingzi turned on the tap and washed her hands, then wiped her face and said, "It's okay, I just feel nauseous, it comes in waves, it will pass."

"Sister, did you miss breakfast today? You look really strange."

Lin Donglai took a closer look at Lingzi and found that not only did her complexion look strange, but her lips were also very dry, as if she had not eaten for a long time.

Lingzi seemed a little flustered when her secret was discovered. She had no appetite for breakfast, so she had to tell Shazhu to put it aside and she would eat it later.

But after a whole morning, not only did she not eat a single bite of food, she didn't even want to drink water. She was either lying in bed or retching.

"Dongla, I really don't want to eat or drink water. I don't feel hungry at all."

Lingzi was frightened by being looked at, and had no choice but to tell the truth, and then continued: "Don't worry, when Zhuzi comes back from get off work, I will ask him to make me something else to eat."

Lin Donglai had no experience in this area, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Lingzi."

"By the way, I have an appointment with someone to eat outside at noon. It's not convenient to bring Dongyi with me, so let her come and eat with you, okay?"

"Of course you can, Donglai. When Zhuzi is done cooking, I will ask him to call Dongyi to come over for dinner. Don't worry."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Lin Donglai felt relieved. He no longer had to make lunch before going out, which saved him a lot of trouble.
